Pieter Vorenkamp and IP at Cadence
Pieter Vorenkamp is the new(ish) senior VP and general manager of the semiconductor IP group here at Cadence. With both of us traveling a lot last month, it took about a dozen attempts to find a slot when we could talk, but the only slot was on my way from EDPS in Monterey to a weekend near Yosemite, which is how I found myself pulled off to the side of the road on the top of Pacheco pass, on the phone with Pieter. Given the cellphone reception up there, let me not recommend this location for a conference call.
Pieter was born and raised in the Netherlands. He has a degree from University of Twente and his first job was at Philips Research in Eindhoven where he worked for seven years. He then moved to France and worked for one and a half years at the Philips Semiconductors plant in Caen in Northern France (not to be confused with Cannes in Southern France). I actually visited it with a team from Cadence many years ago, I have no memory of why. (However, I do have a good memory of going to see the nearby Bayeux tapestry, which depicts the Norman invasion of England in 1066.)
